The 6 Weirdest Things Women Do to Their Vaginas | Alternet

   

      

     Marketing has no shame, which is not even close to being news, and so, despite decades of feminism, the beat goes on. Chemicals to wash that disgusting twat; no matter those same chemicals have been banned in other countries. Mints, to sweetly encourage your partner that going down on you can be a good thing; "Altoids for your vagina."  Vagina not the right color? No worries! Get that "Barbie Dream House" pink look with a variety of pussy colorants: The 6 Weirdest Things Women Do to Their Vaginas | Alternet

Tina Sena: Esotericana

Our contributor Tina Sena's current column over at Binnall of America:How To Make The Perfect Paranormal TV Show
In An Imperfect Normal World.
Tina discusses paranormal programming, and has a proposal:
Which is why I propose that Syfy, National Geographic and the History Channel (and others like BRAVO, etc.,.) seriously consider doing a paranormal show with a mostly, if not all, female cast. And I'm not talking about your average formulaic paranormal show. It has to be something that's never been done before: A show for women, with women and about women from different professional backgrounds, investigating the oldest, weirdest, most paranormally significant places on Earth.

I'm for that! One of my dreams is to start my own paranormal UFO network. Hmmm...

A few years ago, I think on the Lifetime channel, there was a show about female abductees. Had a cheesy title, something like "I was abducted by aliens!" but it wasn't bad, despite the shaky camera stuff.

12:50, Press Return

By Deirdre O'Lavery

For someone who in her youth was almost utterly confused by numbers, I had, at the same time, been profoundly intrigued by them (and still am). Frankly, I was terrible at math when I was a child and easily discouraged from exploring math-based studies. This may have something to do with the fact I was the last person in my 5th grade math class to complete the 100 question multiplication test in under 5 minutes, and as a result was ridiculed by the teacher.

But it isn’t uncommon for individuals who are geared more towards creativity to have difficulty with mathematical problems, and my father often soothed my feelings of mathematical inadequacy by explaining that as an artist I interpret and utilize maths differently. Unfortunately, because of my troubles in 5th grade, it affected my placement in math classes though Jr. High. Then in my freshman year of high school, I was placed in pre-algebra. While this was still a level behind what most of the other students were learning at, it was this class that made numbers finally click in a way they never had before. It was also my scores in pre-algebra that finally had me placed in standard level maths.
